Automated NAS Security & Malware Scanner
A lightweight, run-anywhere tool (Docker/Desktop) that connects to consumer NAS devices via SSH to audit for dormant malware, web shells, exposed ports, and dangerous default configurations. It targets prosumers who know they shouldn't expose their NAS but lack the deep Linux skills to manually check cron jobs and PHP-FPM configs.
Why this matters
A lightweight, run-anywhere tool (Docker/Desktop) that connects to consumer NAS devices via SSH to audit for dormant malware, web shells, exposed ports, and dangerous default configurations. It targets prosumers who know they shouldn't expose their NAS but lack the deep Linux skills to manually check cron jobs and PHP-FPM configs.
- · Built for Prosumers and homelab hobbyists using consumer NAS hardware (Synology, QNAP, TerraMaster) who lack advanced SecOps skills..
- · Most likely monetization: Freemium (Free basic scan, paid automated remediation/monitoring).

Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “built-in web UI, which is explicitly marketed to people who don't know what they're doing”
- “this is why consumer NAS firmware is terrifying for anything you actually care about”
- “most of those devices probably have similar stuff sitting dormant and the owners will never know because they never SSH in”
- “you panic a bit when you realise that you've been compromised”
- “Claude helped me to rationalise and work out what steps I would need to take to get things secure again and not miss anything glaring”
